Through an executive order in 1961, President Kennedy established the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). But later, the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998 established USAID as its own agency. The initial intent was to provide aid to foreign countries to promote social and economic development. However, whenever there is money involved, corruption is sure to follow in too many instances.
The USAID slithered from its primary goal of providing humanitarian aid to funding progressive ideological causes like abortion; LGBTQ+ activism; illegal mass immigration; DEI dung; drug and human trafficking. In addition to funding these schemes, there are millions of dollars for which are unaccounted.
But guess who else is using USAID funds for his personal piggy bank? George (of the jungle) Sorros and his “Open Society” cabal, have received hundreds of millions of dollars to promote their Socialist-type agenda in countries in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Central America. Additionally, in November 2024, a Syrian national (Mahmoud Al Hafyan, 53) was charged in a 12-count indictment for diverting more than $9,000,000 in USAID-paid humanitarian aid to an al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group in Iraq. Now we see why the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was established by President Trump.
DOGE, officially known as the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization, is not an official government agency. It was created by executive order on January 20, 2025, which will terminate on July 4, 2026. DOGE does not require Congressional approval to exist, and it operates as an advisory body rather than a cabinet-level department.
This week stank-eyed Schumer and all the other radical crazies had their hair on fire as they screamed hysterically outside the Capitol because DOGE had exposed their shenanigans.
Schumer was quoted, “An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government. DOGE is not a real government agency. DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions. DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law. DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand. Congress must take action to restore the rule of law.”
Those elected nut jobs are crying foul because Elon Musk (a “Special Government Employee,” which is a temporary position) was never elected. Schumer added, “The American people will not stand for an un-elected secret group to run rampant through the executive branch.
Well, cryin’ Chuck, here’s a newsflash. Look at the inessential “advisory agencies” we had to endure in the Biden administration. How about Gina McCarthy, National Climate Advisor; or the infamous John Kerry, Special Presidential Envoy for Climate. Biden created both of these “unelected” positions, which also did not require Senate confirmation. And look at the waste in billions of tax-payer dollars they used to fund their woke projects. At least Musk is trying to save money, instead of exorbitant squandering for a climate hoax.
Unfortunately, President Trump cannot simply take a blow-torch to USAID immediately via an EO. Since Congress officially established USAID in 1998, it would take Congress to abolish it. Again, another opportunity to contact your elected representatives in Congress to get this (and other actions) accomplished! Do not fear, God is in control.

The federal government is finally getting exposed for their horrible handling of our tax dollars. If they were a private corporation people would be fired and also jailed. How the Dummycrats can complain about what Big D is doing just shows how scared they are. This country has been demonized too long by their free spending and no accountability for their terrible results. 19 days on the job and Big D has them reeling. Keep up the pressure and expose them for what they are. God bless Mr. Trump and his vision and leadership.

Expose federal government waste, fraud, and abuse. That is the sole mission of DOGE and they are exceeding expectation with the discovery of USAID waste, fraud, and abuse. In the first half month of existence DOGE unraveled this corker. One of , I suspect, a number of left wing cash cows. Every employee of USAID needs to be fired and rendered unable to ever again be employed by government and USAID emptied and erased. . DOGE’s method of going through the federal budget line by line is working well. I hear that Elon Musk has employed three Wiz Kids to do this kind of searching. They are more than impressive. They are finding rot at all levels of a rotten government that has burdened the American people for ages. Now we will really be unburdened by the past, from the past. Doge exposes and the Trump administration is showing that they will act swiftly upon these outrageous discoveries. MAGA

The government “payroll” is made up of taxes. We elect officials and trust them with those monies, to do what is right for the people of these United States.

As the old saying goes (and one I repeated a ton to my troops way back when), if you are not doing anything wrong, then who cares if someone is checking up on you?

In order to cure a disease, that there is no cure for, it seems that you have to take some good tissue to ensure that you’ve gotten ALL of the diseased tissue. Recently, whether you agree or not, chickens were slaughtered “in-mass” to ensure that their incurable disease would not spread. Bottomline, to me, M. AMERICA G. A., speaks volumes . . . . . . . . .

All the government grifters should be forced to pay back double what they stole from taxpayers, lose their positions, pensions, and benefits, and serve time in prison.
It’s about time this wasteful spending is exposed to the public. Taxpayer money funding NGOs to help illegals to cross into the US. Hundreds of millions of $$$$$ to help with the invasion.
I would guess this is just the tip if the iceberg. As corrupt as the libs are and as long as they have been able to run rampant without any repercussions I am sure a lot if heads would explode if everything is exposed. Just keep it up DOGE.
I’m saddened by the level of corruption in our government. We need DOGE!
DRAIN BABY DRAIN!
GO ELON THE BEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO THIS GOVERNMENT.
ACCOUNTABILITY. Checks and balances. Trimming the fat. Common sense actions. This really is not rocket science. But it could be Rocket science to those who have never developed the ability or disregard the ability of being accountable for their actions or spending practices. Hard lesson for adults or those in power to grasp as we are seeing unfold daily.
We fund the government, because we ARE the government. As such we need oversight and guidance on the way the money is spent. $36 Trillion in dept. Are you kidding me? Why?
Bring the whole fetid mess down.
Congress has control of the Taxpayer money. Were they sleeping while this Usaid grew in size to, I read one place 10000 workers. There are alot of people in our government right now that have been very comfortable with the way things are. Accountability is a Scary word for them. Delegate and forget. Why isn’t someone passing a bill to have government agencies audited every year. If not the same thing will happen again.
I’m retired and on a strict budget. I could use a little help now and then, but I know I won’t get any from USAID or any other NGO because……DRUM ROLL—–government bureaucratic hacks wouldn’t get enough kickback and graft from me to make it worthwhile to themselves.
I want to see where the cash is coming from that is supporting all these illegals “they” let in to America…free phones, hotel stays, free food, free medical……STOP THAT CASH FLOW yesterday!! While I am losing a very important mental health benefit because it will now cost me 40$ per week to talk to my therapist, which I cannot afford (it has been 0$ copay for the last 3 years and I am retired)…..and these illegals are getting everything FREE. I am upset….Keep on DOGE and Mr. Trump AND Please stay safe..
My problem with this is we all know how dirty the Democrats fight so without Trump my party don’t know how to fight,Trump has proved this.
In order to cure a disease, that there is no cure for, it seems that you have to take some good tissue to ensure that you’ve gotten ALL of the diseased tissue. Recently, whether you agree or not, chickens were slaughtered “in-mass” to ensure that their incurable disease would not spread. Bottomline, to me, M. AMERICA G. A., speaks volumes . . . . . . . . .
Democrats slush funds should end now.
